Homeland Security Report Lists 'Liberty Lovers' As Terrorists

Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty" deemed domestic threat

A new study funded by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority," and "reverent of individual liberty" as "extreme right-wing" terrorists.

Entitled Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970-2008 (PDF), the study was produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland. The organization was launched with the aid of DHS funding to the tune of $12 million dollars.

While largely omitting Islamic terrorism - the report fails completely to mention the 1993 World Trade Center bombing – the study focuses on Americans who hold beliefs shared by the vast majority of conservatives and libertarians and puts them in the context of radical extremism.

The report takes its definitions from a 2011 study entitled Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism, produced by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, in which the following characteristics are used to identify terrorists.

- Americans who believe their "way of life" is under attack;

- Americans who are "fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation)";

- People who consider themselves "anti-global" (presumably those who are wary of the loss of American sovereignty);

- Americans who are "suspicious of centralized federal authority";

- Americans who are "reverent of individual liberty";

- People who "believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty."

Happy Independence Day.

U.S. Marine Arrested for Facebook Posts

U.S. Marine Arrested for Facebook Posts

Feds retaliate against another critic of the U.S. government.

SALEM / RICHMOND) - A decorated U.S. Marine who served his nation in two wars, Brandon Raub, of Richmond Virginia, was arrested for airing his critical views of the U.S. government on Facebook this weekend. We just reported yesterday that a Human Rights activist in Bahrain is being prosecuted for six Twitter messages. Politically, this country is increasingly resembling Bahrain and other nations that arrest those who speak out critically over federal policy.

His mother, Kathleen Thomas, says it is another case of the word 'terrorist' being applied to arrest and detain a citizen. You can hear the pride she feels for her son when she explains what he has been through, and by all counts Ms. Thomas makes her points loud and clear.

The law enforcement officials rolled up to the man's home around 7:00 last night. "He was there, the FBI, Secret Service and Chesterfield Police showed up in a storm," she said.

Thomas says her son was questioned about why he was writing certain comments, "He basically said 'I have some disagreements with the government and share this', and they said, 'You have to go with us'".

"He was handcuffed, not read his rights, put into a Chesterfield Police Department vehicle and taken to John Randolph Psychiatric Hospital in Hopewell, Virginia," Thomas said.

Agent Sherry Grainger with the Federal Bureau of Investigation called Kathleen Thomas, who described the conversation.

She said, "I am with the FBI" and "We have taken your son. He has been arrested by the Chesterfield County Police Dept because he assaulted an officer and resisted arrest. He has been arrested and taken to the Chesterfield Police Department."

Why did the feds require the locals to arrest him?

Why did they arrest him?

Why did the local PD loose information on his arrest?

Why was he sent for examination in a mental institution?

You know why- those in positions of power, our elected officials and their bureaucratic JBT's (Jackboot Thugs) are very nervous and have decided to send a message and the message is Brandon Raub.

If you have spent anytime reading his Facebook postings, his notes and even his pictures you will note that these postings are just like MILLIONS of other Citizens posting all across the Republic.

Brandon Raub refused to be silenced, I won't and neither should you.

Go sign the petition, call that PD and demand to know what has happened to this young man. If you don't, the next will be your neighbor, friend, son or even yourself.

In the past seven days, we have witnessed CRIMINAL and CIVIL CONTEMPT CHARGES on the Attorney General of these United States, Eric Holder, Jr. by the Congress of these United States- but yet he remains free, playing at Disney World, instead of behind bars while BP Agent Brian Terry, ICE Agent Jaime Zapata, an estimated (quite low IMO) 300 Mexican Citizens, along with an fully unknown body count of American Citizens which have been killed or murdered by those Mexicans wielding weapons ILLEGALLY sold to them at the behest of the FERAL GOVERNMENT of these United States- and specifically the Attorney General of these United States, Eric Holder, Jr.(and IMO Hilary Clinton and the Muslim Kenyan).

In the past seven days, we have witnessed the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of these United States re-write a law, brought before the High Court, one WHOLLY un-CONSTITUTIONAL, that DICTATES that the feral government can force the citizenry to purchase a product, to "seemingly" make it Constitutional under a completely different avenue than the four requested arguments that the plaintiffs were instructed to argue. The traitor, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, who was nearly completely unknown as an epileptic to we mere citizens before this, said it is actually a TAX, when "those" who penned it, stated it was not as well as the feral lawyers who argued it before the Supreme Court of these United States said it was NOT. So now, the feral government of these United States NOW has the power to TAX you for something you REFUSE to purchase. Of course, after declaring such a monstrosity, where did the traitor, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts go? No, NOT Disney World, but to the "impregnable island fortress" of Malta.

As children, we Americans were instructed that NO ONE is above the law. That the three branches of our Republic- the Legislative, the Executive and the Judicial all are there to protect our Constitution and our liberties, swearing OATHS to do such. Moreover, daily we are told how sacred it we mere citizens OBEY the law of the land and if we have grievances, that our Constitution provides us the avenues to address the inequities and follies of the mistakes of our fellow citizens and elected officials.

No, we do not. At every turn, whether a good and prudent law is passed, it is overturned- no matter what "we the people" desire, need or require. The most recent example is Arizona's Immigration Law which had the Supreme Court of these United States overturn all of it except the requirement for papers. So the Executive branch then, with malice aforethought stripped ONLY Arizona of it's ability to be a part of the program that uses such and created a toll-free number and an E-mail address specifically aimed at Arizona. Moreover, this was AFTER granting back-door amnesty!

Our government has been and is now BOUGHT by large corporations- left and right. I could provide link, after link, after link, after link, after link but I do not have to- you see it daily and know the truth. From oil, pharmacology, prisons, and military. You are nothing and MUST accept the fascist state of CORPORATISM!

I say NO!

There are four boxes to our Republic and each is a true and proper avenue to obtain and re-gain our suppressed liberties, but each one can fail and the first three have been useless since 1913 and the last was tried from 1861-1865 and think days such as those coming upon us once more.

For those that do not know what the four boxes are, I present them in order and yes, most reading this have used the first three- over and over so often that all colors have drained from the use.









The last box is one that all should dread opening, but there are those who just have pushed and keep pushing because they firmly believe it is their due to dictate how others live and that Man should be in chains.

Americans are fed up- we are tired of the lies, the cheating, the murders and killings of us. It is only going to get worse. It has to stop and you have to chose to say no more.

A man I respect is wont to say: "I for one look forward to the coming pandemonium- debts will be paid."

I understand fully his meaning, do you?

Kerodin points the question asked by - "TL: Are you ready for Thursday?"

"TL: Are you ready for Thursday?"

TL asks bluntly: Where do we jump off? I suppose as long as life is tolerable we will continue along, waiting for that moment, which I hold has come and gone, easily managed by the politicians of the day.

Curtis observes: Deja vu...

One of the discussions front and center again over at CA's place is the Moral High Ground. This goes to Curtis' point - that topic has come around at least 4 times in my 2 years online. Many of the same people weigh in, many of the same arguments, one or two people change or nuance their position, and we are all 2 years older while OpFor is 2 more years along with their plan.

Bill posted today about the fact that the war is well underway. For those critics of mine that will state the contrary in regards to already being at war… strap on your heater and walk down town and wait for it. You can't defeat that logic so don't even try, at least not with me.

Most think of the SCOTUS ruling and I say that does not mean a damn thing. The Holder CONTEMPT vote weighs much more heavily on my mind. The Muslim Kenyan's actions yesterday with regards to Arizona speaks volumes!

There is no longer any pretense that we live in a Republic- despite the Republicrats push of Mitt Romney and the November "elections"- this is nothing but theater.

TL also stated this:

I am growing tired of empty gestures and hollow words. This is one reason I have not been posting as often of late. I have my own battles with the powers that be that are non-stop. I do what I can to strike back at the beast in ways that inconvenience them, that take up their time, that runs them about and it all still seems useless. Every day I near the point where writing stops and I concentrate on my own agenda.

It has been the same for me and I am sure many others. Blogs have gone quiet and blogs have gone down.

They know it is coming.

So do I.

So do you.

Law Student Puts Cop In His Place After Being Unlawfully Stopped For Carrying A Gun In Maine

Escape and DHS

From Ol' Remus:

It was known to looters as the "miracle mile", actually three miles of four-lane highway west of the city, jammed with vehicular junk, parallel lines of rust and glitter and human ruins. The horror and stench deterred looting at first, afterwards the difficulty and danger of travel, finally the diminished numbers of able foragers. Rumors of how it came to be were forgotten in successive waves of catastrophes. From time to time wandering refugees came upon it, took all they could carry and moved on. Thousands of vehicles made good pickings even after all this time. Nobody stayed. Even by the standards that had become normal, this place was an unspeakable horror. What really happened was even worse.

When the collapse happened, it happened with astonishing speed. All wealth in digital form disappeared in less than an hour: bonds, checking accounts, investments, credit, debt, savings—everything. The economy immediately contracted to cash-and-carry with a side of barter. There were "addresses to the nation" and summit meetings and announcements, with draconian and contradictory decrees from DC, state capitals, mayors and even sheriffs. Everybody was in charge and nobody was in charge. The permanent government soon revealed itself for the madhouse it had been all along. Federal and state agencies were arresting each other, expanding, disbanding, merging and going rogue. Coup de 'tats and alliances and insurrections were reported and denounced and denied by turns until the tangled narrative became incomprehensible and, finally, irrelevant. Aside from the hobbyist preachers, the rumor mill took over short wave radio. Travelers from any distance were questioned closely. Only what they had seen with their own eyes was credited.

I was told of this last night and did not get a chance to read it until this morning, right after I viewed this pic in my E-mail sent from Tennessee.

William Barret Travis - Alamo Letters (February 25th)

To Major-General Sam Houston
February 25, 1836

HEADQUARTERS, FORT OF THE ALAMO: Sir; On the 23rd of Feb., the enemy in large force entered the city of Bexar, which could not be prevented, as I had not sufficient force to occupy both positions. Col. Bartes, the Adjutant-Major of the President-General Santa Anna, demanded a surrender at discretion, calling us foreign rebels. I answered them with a cannon shot, upon which the enemy commenced a bombardment with a five inch howitzer, which together with a heavy cannonade, has been kept up incessantly ever since. I instantly sent express to Col. Fannin, at Goliad, and to the people of Gonzales and San Felipe. Today at 10 o'clock a.m. some two or three hundred Mexicans crossed the river below and came up under cover of the houses until they arrived within virtual point blank shot, when we opened a heavy discharge of grape and canister on them, together with a well directed fire from small arms which forced them to halt and take shelter in the houses about 90 or 100 yards from our batteries. The action continued to rage about two hours, when the enemy retreated in confusion, dragging many of their dead and wounded.

During the action, the enemy kept up a constant bombardment and discharge of balls, grape, and canister. We know from actual observation that many of the enemy were wounded -- while we, on our part, have not lost a man. Two or three of our men have been slightly scratched by pieces of rock, but have not been disabled. I take great pleasure in stating that both officers and men conducted themselves with firmness and bravery. Lieutenant Simmons of cavalry acting as infantry, and Captains Carey, Dickinson and Blair of the artillery, rendered essential service, and Charles Despallier and Robert Brown gallantly sallied out and set fire to houses which afforded the enemy shelter, in the face of enemy fire. Indeed, the whole of the men who were brought into action conducted themselves with such heroism that it would be injustice to discriminate. The Hon. David Crockett was seen at all points, animating the men to do their duty. Our numbers are few and the enemy still continues to approximate his works to ours. I have every reason to apprehend an attack from his whole force very soon; but I shall hold out to the last extremity, hoping to secure reinforcements in a day or two. Do hasten on aid to me as rapidly as possible, as from the superior number of the enemy, it will be impossible for us to keep them out much longer. If they overpower us, we fall a sacrifice at the shrine of our country, and we hope prosperity and our country will do our memory justice. Give me help, oh my country! Victory or Death!

William Barret Travis - Alamo Letters (February 24th)

To The People of Texas and
All Americans In The World --
February 24, 1836

Fellow citizens & compatriots --

I am beseiged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna -- I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man -- The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken -- I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls -- I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism, & every thing dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch -- The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country --

VICTORY OR DEATH

William Barret Travis
Lt. Col. Comdt.

P.S. The Lord is on our side -- When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn -- We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels & got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves -- Travis

William Barret Travis - Alamo Letters (February 23rd)

To Andrew Ponton, Judge and Citizens of Gonzales
February 23, 1836

COMMANDANCY OF BEXAR, 3 o'clock p.m.: The enemy in large force are in sight. We want men and provisions. Send them to us. We have 150 men and are determined to defend the Alamo to the last. Give us assistance.

P.S. Send an express to San Felipe with news night and day.

From W.B. Travis and James Bowie
To James W. Fannin (at Goliad)
February 23, 1836

COMMANDANCY OF BEXAR: We have removed all the men to the Alamo where we make such resistance as is due our honor, and that of a country, until we can get assistance from you, which we expect you to forward immediately. In this extremity, we hope you will send us all the men you can spare promptly. We have one hundred and forty six men, who are determined never to retreat. We have but little provisions, but enough to serve us till you and your men arrive. We deem it unnecessary to repeat to a brave officer, who knows his duty, that we call on him for assistance.

A proper thank you is due to No-Neck who suggested this last year.

SWAT team's shooting of Marine causes outrage

SWAT team's shooting of Marine causes outrage

By AMANDA LEE MYERS
The Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. — Jose Guerena Ortiz was sleeping after an exhausting 12-hour night shift at a copper mine. His wife, Vanessa, had begun breakfast. Their 4-year-old son, Joel, asked to watch cartoons.

An ordinary morning was unfolding in the middle-class Tucson neighborhood — until an armored vehicle pulled into the family's driveway and men wearing heavy body armor and helmets climbed out, weapons ready.

They were a sheriff's department SWAT team who had come to execute a search warrant. But Vanessa Guerena insisted she had no idea, when she heard a "boom" and saw a dark-suited man pass by a window, that it was police outside her home. She shook her husband awake and told him someone was firing a gun outside.

A U.S. Marine veteran of the Iraq war, he was only trying to defend his family, she said, when he grabbed his own gun — an AR-15 assault rifle.

What happened next was captured on video after a member of the SWAT team activated a helmet-mounted camera.

The officers — four of whom carried .40-caliber handguns while another had an AR-15 — moved to the door, briefly sounding a siren, then shouting "Police!" in English and Spanish. With a thrust of a battering ram, they broke the door open. Eight seconds passed before they opened fire into the house.

And 10 seconds later, Guerena lay dying in a hallway 20-feet from the front door. The SWAT team fired 71 rounds, riddling his body 22 times, while his wife and child cowered in a closet.

"Hurry up, he's bleeding," Vanessa Guerena pleaded with a 911 operator. "I don't know why they shoot him. They open the door and shoot him. Please get me an ambulance."

When she emerged from the home minutes later, officers hustled her to a police van, even as she cried that her husband was unresponsive and bleeding, and that her young son was still inside. She begged them to get Joel out of the house before he saw his father in a puddle of blood on the floor.

But soon afterward, the boy appeared in the front doorway in Spider-Man pajamas, crying.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department said its SWAT team was at the home because Guerena was suspected of being involved in a drug-trafficking organization and that the shooting happened because he arrived at the door brandishing a gun. The county prosecutor's office says the shooting was justified.

Which is it you lying Jack Boot Thugs? He came to the door and you saw him pointing his AR or you broke the door down and murdered him? Don't answer, we know you murdered him.

Kastigar sharply disputed that, calling the Pima County SWAT team one of the best of its kind in the nation. "We're not a bunch of country bumpkins in southern Arizona with big bellies and cowboy hats," he said.

Yes you are as so many SWAT members around the Republic have already stated, in their opinions, you are. Not just any SWAT TEAMS, but members from some of the largest- all one has to do is read the comments from when this story first broke.

The shooting was justified, he said, because Guerena pointed his AR-15 at the SWAT officers and said, "I've got something for you," before they opened fire.

The five SWAT team members who shot Guerena believed that he had fired his weapon first, he said. Subsequent investigation revealed that the gun's safety was on and hadn't been fired. Ultimately, that is not an issue, Kastigar said.

"What reasonable person comes to the front door and points a rifle at people?" he said. "It takes several milliseconds to flip the switch from safety to fire and take out a couple of SWAT officers. I'm firmly of the opinion that he was attempting to shoot at us."

Yes, tell us you unreasonable Jack Booted Thug- just why did those murdering ass-hats come? Your fantastic warrant?

Well, let us read what your paid for Jack-Booted Thug Defending expert had to say:

An independent expert, Chuck Drago, a former longtime SWAT officer for Fort Lauderdale, Fla., police who now does consulting on use of force and other law enforcement issues, said that the shooting itself appeared justified.

"It's a horrible, horrible tragedy, but if they walked in the door and somebody came at them with an assault rifle, that would be a justifiable response," said Drago. "It doesn't matter whether he's innocent or not."

But after examining elements of the search affidavit, Drago questioned whether the sheriff's office truly had probable cause.

"When you back up and look at why they're there in the first place and whether the search warrant was proper, my mind starts struggling," Drago said. "There are a lot of things that don't make a lot of sense."

Even your paid-for Jack-Booted Thug Defending expert could not fully stomach his 30-pieces of silver.

When the times come, and the trial begins, you should be sitting right next to them Kastigar- along with every one who is working so diligently to cover this up.

Each of you will certainly be in one of Dante's Circles in Hell.

Kidnapping in Mission, Texas

Homes raided amid kidnapping probe; businessman may be victim
November 08, 2011 11:05 AM

MISSION — Police here conducted at least two home raids Monday in connection with a kidnapping.

Police would not yet release details on the case, but law enforcement officials did state the license plate number of the victim’s vehicle over the police radio. Public records show the pickup truck is registered to Fred Harms.

Harms is involved with several Rio Grande Valley businesses. He is the director of Santa Fe Steakhouse Inc. and the president of Paradise Car Wash among other businesses, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s records.

Harms could not be reached for comment Monday.

Hmm, and what is being told to many "front line" LEO's (many different types) is that it was a simple "domestic dispute", which is different from what they were initially told (yesterday) according to a number of little birds I have heard from down there.

Just continue that War on Some Drugs- keep importing this crime, it is what TPTB really want no matter what they say.

WP

UPDATE

As I said about domestic dispute- it is now being reported as a "love triangle".

Police: Mission kidnapping stemmed from love triangle
November 08, 2011 8:38 PM

Naxiely Lopez
The Monitor

MISSION — Two men faced aggravated kidnapping charges after they allegedly abducted a McAllen businessman at gunpoint from a Denny’s parking lot Sunday night.

Judge Horacio Peña Jr. charged Armando Hernandez, 48, and Edgar Daniel Saavedra, 21, with the first degree felony Tuesday at the Mission Municipal Court.

Investigators believe both were part of a group of men who kidnapped Fred Harms, director of Santa Fe Steakhouse Inc. and president of Paradise Carwash — both in McAllen.

Harms managed to escape from his assailants Monday morning.

The kidnapping stemmed from a lovers’ quarrel, said Mission Assistant Police Chief Martin Garza. Hernandez and the victim were apparently dating the same woman.

Hernandez — whom sources said is a police comandante in Mexico — apparently orchestrated the kidnapping, police said. He asked Farms to meet him at the Mission restaurant, 116 South Shary Road, about 8 p.m. Sunday.

And I call bullshit.

The past week.

There were all sorts of things that occurred:

The Muslim Kenyan wanted to bail out Solyndra BEFORE it filed bankruptcy which I have a hard time grasping since that bullshit Bankster & ManBearPig money-pit only had Federal Reserve Notes to the tune of $547BILLION already handed to it, courtesy RAPING of the taxpayer.

USAToday reports that INGSOC hotels have on their telescreens the reminder that BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU and that, "If you see something, say something to authorities."

Furthering INGSOCs goal of total control, there is an 868-page bill to increase control of the Public Propaganda Camps.

Over in Switzerland, Swiss cantons are deporting foreigners that are on welfare. Good for them!

Here in the Republic though, Border Patrol Agent Jesus "Chito" E. Diaz Jr. was just sentenced to two (2) years in prison for using a standard police control tactic on a fifteen-year old drug-running mojado.

And then there is all of the other little BS "news reports" designed to keep everyone's eyes off the ball such as the attempt by Propagandist Foot Soldiers vilifying Mike Vanderboegh over the four old men who allegedly had enough. I have serious doubts about the Feral claims- and anyone with half a brain should too.

Currency and money woes of course have been reported everywhere but there is one that I missed from last month.

$600 trillion derivative time-bomb: the day the glass ceiling finally cracks

October 14, 2011 – NEW YORK -You want to know the real reason banks aren’t lending and the PIIGS have control of the barnyard in Europe? It’s because risk in the $600 trillion derivatives market isn’t leveling out. To the contrary, it’s growing increasingly concentrated among a select few banks, especially here in the United States. In 2009, five banks held 80% of derivatives in America. Now, just four banks hold a staggering 95.9% of U.S. derivatives, according to a recent report from the Office of the Currency Comptroller. The four banks in question: JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C), Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS).

Take a good hard look at what has happened this past week and is occurring today in Greece. Go spend some time reading ZeroHedge, Markt-Ticker, The Daily Reckoning, Seeking Alpha, Charles Hugh Smiths or the myriad financial sites available to everyone.

Since the masses are feared by TPTB and control is ALWAYS more important than abiding by what our Founding Fathers bequeathed us, the gas-burners on Class Warfare are really being ramped up- especially with the usual help from the state.

Which is a good time to remind everyone, which TL did so eloquently three days ago:

"Liberty was once the purpose of this nation, to preserve it, to extend it to others, to protect it from the greed of government. Liberty was not the by-product of America, it was not the result of forming a government such as we had, it was the very purpose and we, as citizens, its defenders."

Vox Day did so here:

"Remember this martyr for his faith when the neocons are celebrating the accomplishments of their World Democratic Revolution. And remember it when Republicans are explaining why it is necessary to export democracy to the savages of the third world while simultaneously importing them throughout the West"

And the Artic Patriot succinctly stating:

Resist.

As a friend often says: "I for one look forward to the coming pandemonium- debts WILL be paid."
